About the Embassy of Switzerland in Serbia

The ambassador is Anne Elisabeth Lugon-Moulin, according to the Diplomatic List of the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (29 September 2026); the ministry’s Precedence List (14 September 2026) gives 3 September 2024 as the date credentials were presented. The office is in the capital, Belgrade, about 12 km in a straight line from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport.

From the embassy’s website

On 14 July 2026 the embassy and the Swiss Cooperation Office moved to shared premises on the 3rd floor at Mutapova 7, 11000 Belgrade; telephone numbers and e-mail addresses stayed the same. The website warns of fraudulent offers of Swiss work permits and visas: work permits are applied for by the employer in Switzerland, and the embassy does not work with agencies.

Do Swiss citizens need a visa for Serbia?

Citizens of Switzerland with ordinary passports do not need a visa for visits to Serbia of up to 90 days within a six-month period, according to the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ visa regime page; a national identity card can also be used to enter. Serbia is not part of the Schengen area and applies its own visa rules.
